PREFACE 

In  offering  a  new  business  speller,  it  seems  desirable  to  indicate 
some  of  the  features  in  which  the  book  differs  from  other  publications 
and  to  suggest  methods  in  which  it  may  be  employed. 

It  is  in  some  ways  desirable  that  words  in  a  spelling  book  should  be 
presented  in  a  manner  as  nearly  like  the  way  they  appear  in  ordinary 
print  as  is  possible.  In  endeavoring  to  do  this  there  has  been  a  tend- 
ency in  recent  years  to  neglect  syllabication,  that  other  great  aid  to 
spelling.  In  this  book  the  words  are  divided  into  syllables,  but,  in 
order  to  retain  the  similarity  to  origin aLprint,  hyphens  are  not  inserted 
between  tlie  syllables. 

It  is  undesirable  to  respell  more  than  is  necessary,  for  in  respelling 
false  ideas  are  given  as  to  the  proper  spelling  of  the  word.  Only  those 
words  have  been  respelled  where  there  would  be  doubt  as  to  the  pro- 
nunciation. 

Some  general  principles  regarding  pronunciation  of  vowels  are  given 
in  the  beginning  of  the  book,  and  an  application  of  these  principles 
has  made  it  necessary  to  respell  only  a  comparatively  few  words.  No 
word  has  been  respelled  which  is  in  strict  conformity  with  these  gen- 
eral principles,  unless  it  is  a  word  which  is  generally  mispronounced. 

Each  lesson  is  given  a  separate  page,  and  there  is  enough  material 
in  the  book  for  a  lesson  a  day  for  forty  weeks.  Attention  is  called  to 
the  fact  that  the  words  in  the  first  sixty-four  lessons  are  gi-ouped  in 
accordance  with  certain  rules  for  spelling.  While  many  words  in 
English  violate  rules  of  spelling,  a  knowledge  of  the  application  of 
certain  rules  is  a  distinct  aid  to  proper  spelling.  The  reading  of  a  rule 
is  of  very  little  use,  but  when  fifty  or  one  hundred  words  applying  the 
rule  are  studied,  the  teacher,  by  calling  repeated  attention  to  the  rule, 
may  make  it  so  emphatic  that  the  student  will  thereafter  apply  it. 

The  book  will  be  found  unusually  complete  in  the  common  business 
terms,  and  in  the  more  common  technical  words  used  in  the  various 
occupations  and  profe.ssions.

iv  PREFACE 

A  valuable  feature  of  the  book  is  an  alphabetic  list  of  all  the  words, 
with  a  number  showing  where  the  definition  may  be  found.  The  use 
of  this  list  will  enable  a  student  to  look  up  quickly  the  spelling  of  any 
word  he  is  not  certain  of,  and  will  refer  him  to  a  definition  of  the  word. 

The  definitions  have  been  carefully  selected  and  are  much  more  com- 
plete than  in  the  ordinary  spelling  book. 

The  author  advises,  where  there  is  a  daily  lesson  in  spelling,  that 
for  the  first  four  days  of  each  week  one  of  the  regular  lessons,  con- 
sisting of  twenty-five  words,  be  used,  and  that  on  the  fifth  day  the 
review  following  these  lessons  be  employed.  In  these  reviews,  which 
consist  of  fifty  words,  the  first  column  contains  words  which  were  in 
one  of  the  four  preceding  lessons.  The  words  in  the  second  column 
are  selected  from  any  previous  part  of  the  book,  and  the  third  column 
consists  of  words  to  be  looked  up  as  to  division  of  syllables,  pronuncia- 
tion, definitions,  etc.,  in  the  dictionary. 

Webster's  New  International  Dictionary  has  been  used  in  all  cases 
as  the  standard  for  division  of  words  and  for  pronunciation.

OTHER   SIGNS   USED   IN    RESPELLING 

rj        (like  ng)  as  in  baqk,  juqction,  siqgle. 

g         (always  "  hard")  as  in  go,  begin,  great. 

th       (voiceless)  as  in  thin,  through,  wealth  (not  usually  respelled) . 

fh       (voiced)  "     fhen,  fhough,  smooth  (usually  respelled). 

are  used  to  indicate  the  changing  of  the  t  and  d  in  these  com- 
binations to  c/i  and  j  inordinary  speech,  although  many  careful 
speakers  aim  to  avoid  it;  as  in  culture,  n attire,  verdure, 
gradual. 
N  is  used  to  represent  the  nasal  tone  of  the  preceding  vowel  in 
words  from  the  French  and  Portuguese,  but  is  not  itself 
sounded. 

LENGTH    OF   VOWELS 

(Vowels  which  conform  with  the  following  rules  are  not  generally 
respelled.) 
In  accented  syllables  a  vowel  is  usually 
Long  (a)  if  it  stands  alone. 

(b)  if  at  the  end  of  a  syllable. 

(c)  if  before  a  single  consonant  followed  by  e. 
Short  (a)  at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable. 

(b)  in  the  middle  of  a  syllable  unless  the  syllable 
ends  with  silent  e. 

In  unaccented  syllables  the  tendency  is  to  lessen  the  stress  on  the 
vowels,  although  they  frequently  retain  the  same  quality  as  vowels 
in  similar  positions  in  accented  syllables.  For  illustration,  a  vowel 
which,  from  its  position,  would  be  "long"  in  an  accented  syllable, 
is  nsLially  "half  long"  in  unaccented  .syllables.  The  "  i,"  however, 
is  nearly  always  "short,"  and  '•  a  "  is  often  changed  to  "d." 


RULES 

F,    S,   AND   L  FINAL 

(Lessons  1,  2,  3,  4) 

Rule  1.  The  letters  /,  s,  and  I  at  the  end  of  monosyllables  and  stand- 
ing immediately  after  single  vowels  are  generally  doubled.  Other  con- 
sonants are  very  rarely  doubled  at  the  end  of  words. 

Rule  2.  The  letters  /  and  s  (but  not  I)  at  the  end  of  words  of 
more  than  one  syllable  and  standing  immediately  after  single  vowels 
are  frequently  doubled. 

Rule  3.  The  letters  /,  s,  and  I  at  the  end  of  words  and  standing 
immediately  after  diphthongs  or  double  vowels  are  rarely  doubled. 

Rule  4.  Derivatives  which  are  formed  by  prefixing  or  adding  one 
or  more  syllables  to  words  ending  in  double  consonants  commonly 
retain  both  consonants.  (Words  in  all,  well,  full,  and  mass  are  ex- 
ceptions to  this  rule,  and  usually  omit  one  of  the  consonants.) 

Rule  5.  When  ly  is  added  to  a  word  ending  with  a  single  I,  both 
Vs  are  retained. 

C   HARD   AND   SOFT 
(Lessons  5,  6,  7,  8) 

Rule  6.  Cis  sounded  hard  like  k  before  a,  o,  or  u  ;  or  before  any 
consonant  except  h;  or  at  the  end  of  a  syllable,  if  not  followed  by 
i  or  e. 

Rule  7.     C  is  sounded  soft  like  s  before  e,  z,  or  y. 

RcLE  8.  Monosyllables  ending  with  the  sound  of  k,  and  in  which 
c  follows  the  vowel,  usually  have  k  added  after  the  c. 

Rule  9.  Words  of  more  Uian  one  syllable  ending  with  the  sound 
of  k,  and  in  which  the  c  follows  a, vowel  or  vowels  other  than  i  or  ia, 
usually  have  k  added  after  the  c. 

Rule  10  Words  of  more  than  one  syllable  ending  with  the  sound  of 
k,  and  in  which  the  c  follows  i  or  ia,  are  usually  written  without  the 
final  k. 

G  HARD  AND   SOFT 

(Lessons  9,  10) 
Role  11.     G  is  sounded  hard  before  a,  o,  or  u  ;  or  before  any  con- 
sonant ;  also  at  the  end  of  a  word,  and  of  derivatives  of  that  word. 
Rule  12.     G  usually  has  the  soft  sound  (like  j)  before  e,  i,  or  y 

viii 


RULES  IX 

VOWELS 
(Lessoxs  13-20) 

RcLE  13.  At  the  eud  of  a  word  a  single  consonant,  preceded  by  a 
long  vowel,  is  always  followed  by  silent  e.  (There  are  many  cases, 
however,  where  words  with  a  silent  e  at  the  end  have  short  vowels.) 

Rule  14.  A  single  consonant,  preceded  by  a  single  short  vowel, 
usually  omits  final  e. 

Rule  15.  A  short  vowel  is  frequently  modified  by  the  insertion  of 
an  additional  vowel  either  before  or  after  the.  original  one.  Ea,  ei,  ai, 
ay,  oa,  and  uy  are  examples  of  such  combinations.  Each  of  these 
combinations  (digraphs)  maybe  pronounced  like  the  long  sound  of  the 
first  vowel  in  the  combination,  although  several  of  the  digraphs  have 
other  sounds  as  well. 

DROPPING  AND   RETAINING   E 

(Lessons  21-24) 

Rule  16.  Silent  E  retained.  In  derivatives  formed  from  words 
ending  with  silent  e,  the  e  is  generally  retained  when  the  termination 
begins  with  a  consonant. 

Exception-.  When  silent  e  is  immediately  preceded  by  another 
vowel  except  e,  it  is  usually  dropped  from  the  derivative,  even  when 
the  termination  begins  with  a  consonant. 

Rule  17.  Silent  E  omitted.  In  derivatives  formed  from  words 
ending  with  silent  e,  the  e  is  generally  omitted  when  the  termination 
begins  with  a  vowel. 

Exception.  In  verbs  ending  in  ie,  ye,  oe,  and  ee,  the  e  is  retained 
before  'ing. 

Rule  18.  E  before  A  or  0,  after  C  or  G.  In  derivatives  formed 
from  words  ending  with  silent  e  following  c  or  g,  the  e  is  usually 
retained  when  the  termination  begins  with  a  or  o. 

RULES   FOR   DOUBLING   CONSONANTS 

(Lessons  25-28) 

Rule  19.  (a)  Monosyllables  and  words  accented  on  the  last  syllable, 
ending  in  a  single  consonant  (except  x  or  h),  preceded  by  a  single 
vowel,  double  that  consonant  when  adding  a  termination  beginning 
with  a  vowel. 

(6)  If  the  accent  is  thrown  back  to  the  first  syllable  in  the  deriva- 
tive word,  the  consonant  is  not  doubled. 


X  RULES 

Rule  20.  The  final  consonant  is  not  doubled  in  derivatives  formed 
by  the  addition  of  a  termination  beginning  with  a  vowel,  when  (a)  a 
diphthong  or  digraph  precedes  the  final  consonant  of  the  word,  or 
(fc)  when  the  accent  of  a  word  ending  in  a  single  consonant  falls  on 
any  other  syllable  than  the  last,  or  (c)  when  the  word  ends  in  two 
different  consonants. 

Exceptions.  In  a  few  words  ending  in  g  the  final  consonant  is 
doubled,  that  it  may  not  be  pronounced  likej. 

RULES   FOR   EI  AM)   IE 

(Lessons  29-32) 

Ei  general!}'  has  the  sound  of  e  as  in  conceive  ;  but  it  may  be  sounded 
like  a  as  in  neighbor,  e  as  in  heifer,  i  as  in  height,  i  as  in  foreign. 

le  generally  has  the  sound  of  e  as  in  achieve  ;  but  it  may  be  sounded 
like  e  as  in  patient,  i  as  in  jtie,  \  as  in  sieve  ;  and  when  followed  by  u 
or  w  like  u  as  in  view. 

Rule  21.  When  sounded  like  e,  use  ei  after  c,  and  ie  after  any  other 
consonant.     (There  are  very  few  exceptions. ) 

Rule  22.     "When  sounded  like  a,  use  ei. 

Rule  23.  When  not  sounded  like  e  or  a,  ie  is  genei'allj'  employed 
(even  after  c) . 

Exceptions.  Ei  is  used  in  a  few  words  (generally  scientific  terms 
from  the  Latin,  Greek,  or  Modern  German)  pronounced  like  i,  and  in  a 
few  words  pronounced  like  i  or  e. 

RULES   FOR   FINAL    T 

(Lessons  38,  34) 

Rule  24.  (a)  AVhen  final  y  is  preceded  by  a  consonant  it  is  usually 
changed  to  i  when  any  termination  is  added  except  one  beginning  with  i. 

(6)  When  y  follows  t  it  is  changed  to  e  when  ous  is  added. 

(c)  The  y  is  usually  unchanged  in  derivatives  of  adjectives  of  one 
syllable,  and  in  derivatives  of  adjectives  fonned  by  adding  hood,  like, 
or  ship. 

Rule  25.  When  final  y  is  preceded  by  a  vowel,  it  is  usually  un< 
changed  in  derivatives. 

CEDE 

(Lesson  34) 
Rule  26.     Most  words  ending  in  the  sound  sed  are  spelled  cede ; 
but  three  are  spelled  ceed,  and  one  sede. 


RULES 


XI 


IZE,    ISE,    YZE 
(Lessons  35,  36) 
(Pronounced  iz) 

Rule  27.  Ize  is  the  more  common  ending.  A  number  of  words 
which  are  derived  through  the  French  are  spelled  with  ise ;  a  few 
words  from  the  Greek  are  spelled  yze. 

In  lessons  35  and  30  most  of  the  common  words  ending  in  ise  or  yze 
are  given,  together  with  a  number  of  words  with  the  more  common 
spelling  ize.  Most  words  in  general  use  not  given  in  these  lessons 
may  be  correctly  spelled  with  ize.

IVE  (pronounced  iv)  is  a  termination  used  to  form  adjectives  from 

verbs.     It  means  doing  or  serving  to  do.     This  termination  is  commonly 

attached  to  words  whose  root  ends  in  t  or  s,  and  the  endings  are 

usually  tive  or  sive.

ABLE  AND   IBLE 

(Lessons  53-55) 

(Usually  pronounced  d-b^l  and  1-&7) 

Words    ending    in    able    and    ible    are    difficult   to    distinguish. 

About  four  fifths  of  all  English  words  with  either  of  these  terminations 

end  in  able.     Words  from  the  Latin  are  either  able  or  ible,  depending 

on  the  root  from  which  they  come.     Anglo-Saxon  words  are  always 

able. 

Lessons  5-3,  54,  and  55  include,  in  addition  to  a  number  of  words 
ending  in  able,  most  of  the  common  words  which  are  spelled  with 
ible,  with  the  exception  of  words  which  may  be  formed  from  these 
by  addition  of  a  prefix.

Rule  28.  When  the  shortest  form  of  a  word  ends  with  d,  de,  ge. 
mit,  rt,  se,  or  ss,  the  termination  added  is  usually  sion.  In  most  other 
cases  the  termination  is  tion. 


XIV  RULES

HOW  TO   USE   THE  DICTIONARY 

Every  student  should  know  how  to  use  the  dictionary  to  gain  in- 
formation regarding  spelling,  the  divis.ion  of  words  into  syllables,  the 
pronunciation  of  words,  their  origin,  and  their  meaning. 

The  first  column  in  the  Review  Lessons  consists  of  words  which 
occur  in  one  of  the  four  preceding  lessons  ;  the  second  column  con- 
tains words  which  have  occurred  in  any  preceding  lesson  ;  in  the  last 
column  are  given  new  words  which  are  to  be  looked  up  at  home  in  a 
dictionary. 

In  making  use  of  the  dictionary  the  first  essential  is  that  the  student 
should  know  the  alphabet ;  he  should  know  the  relative  position  in 
the  alphabet  of  any  given  letter.  Brief  class  drills  on  alphabetizing 
will  help  to  give  this  ability. 

The  pronunciation  in  most  dictionaries  is  inclosed  in  parentheses 
immediately  following  the  word.  The  teacher  should  make  sure  that 
the  student  properly  understands  the  signs  used  in  respelling. 

Frequently  a  number  of  definitions  are  given  for  a  word.  In 
Webster's  New  International  Dictionary  definitions  are  usually  given 
in  their  historical  order,  that  the  development  of  the  word  may  be 
shown.  The  attention  of  the  student  should  be  called  to  the  fact  that 
the  first  definition  given  is  often  not  the  most  common  meaning  of  the 
word. 

The  origin  and  derivation  of  words  is  usually  shown  in  the  dic- 
tionary. -  The  language  from  which  the  word  originally  came  and  the 
changes  through  which  it  has  passed  can  thus  be  learned.  In  many 
cases  a  knowledge  of  the  derivation  of  a  word  will  give  a  better  under- 
standing of  the  present  meaning  of  the  word. 

After  the  definition  of  many  words  a  list  of  synonyms  wfil  be  found. 
A  study  of  these  synonyms  frequently  helps  materially  in  giving  a 
proper  understanding  of  the  word. 

The  instructor  should  require  the  students  to  look  up  in  a  dictionary 
the  words  in  the  third  column  of  each  of  the  Review  Lessons  and  be 
able  to  give,  not  only  the  spelling  of  the  word,  but  its  division  into 
syllables,  its  pronunciation,  and  its  most  common  definition.  If  the 
Review  Lessons  are  used  in  this  manner  they  can  be  made  of  great 
value  to  the  student.
